Infant Mortality Rates in Sweden - Gaussian Process Model

Overview

Our aim is to estimate Swedish infant mortality rate across regions and time (10-year time period). Modelling allows us to ask questions such as:
1. “Are regions struggling more than others to keep babies alive?
2. “Is infant survival improving over time?”.
